LETTER: Mayor Fanucci’s shameful library story

I am shocked at the lies I read on the May 3 front page of The Daily Journal! The Vineland Public Library has NOT been financially irresponsible. The money that the library supposedly overspends is the health insurance and pension contributions that the city pays for all employees. Are all the city employees going to pay for their insurance and pension?

Wasn’t Mayor Anthony Fanucci one of the “people who are the financial and fiscal stewards” he mentioned? Mayor Fanucci also stated that there were a “couple departments that took significantly deeper hits.” What are these departments? I have not found any.

First you try to force the LS&S group on the library and now this. We have the best library in the tri-city area, if not in all of South Jersey.

Shame on you. The citizens of Vineland deserve better. Shame on you!
